I worked as an elementary teacher in the Netherlands for 7 years and have worked as a nanny for the last 3 years. I have experience watching 3 children at once. I'm nurturing, patient, organized and love teaching children.

Excellent references readily available.

I am fluent in English, Dutch and Frisian, and I speak some German and French.

Currently I watch several children at my house, all part-time, and never more than 3 at once (including my 22 month old son) so the children get a lot of personal attention.

My goal is to create a safe, fun and educational environment. I can help children that attend elementary school with their homework, like to do arts and crafts, reading to children, teaching them some sign language, go for walks, etc. I live next to a park with playground, in Niles.
